Chapter 17: An Unexpected Find




Eager to uncover the treasure, the Hardys hold their breaths as the box is opened. But it is nothing but a box of --- flower bulbs! What? Hurd Applegate suddenly appears and grumpily informs them that Mr. Robinson had a habit of burying bulbs and seeds around the place. Sure enough, when the boys discover a second buried chest, it is a box of flower seeds! Meanwhile, Chief Collig has arrested Mr. Robinson again, accusing him of being an accomplice of Red Jackley! Alarmed, Frank and Joe head once more to the Tower Mansion after school. Creeping around after night as fallen, they hear footsteps, then suddenly a spotlight shines from the tower window—directly on them!
